"Your Trees, Our Expertise – Trimming & Removal Done Right"

About Us

Steimel Tree Service has been proudly serving Waterloo, IA, and the surrounding communities since 2012, built on a passion for hard work, quality service, and taking pride in every property we touch. The journey began long before the business opened—gaining hands-on experience working for another company, learning the ins and outs of tree care, and developing a deep understanding of what it takes to do the job right. With over 20 years of experience in the field, that foundation led to the decision to start something of our own—creating a company focused on reliability, honest work, and treating every customer like a neighbor.

Today, Steimel Tree Service is a fully licensed and insured, owner-operated business committed to keeping outdoor spaces safe, healthy, and beautiful. From expert tree trimming and safe tree removal to thorough stump grinding and removal, every service is approached with care and attention to detail. We also provide hedge trimming and dependable lawn care, including mowing and ongoing maintenance, helping homeowners maintain clean, polished properties year-round.

Whether it’s routine upkeep or an urgent need, our goal remains the same: to deliver dependable, high-quality service you can trust. At Steimel Tree Service, we don’t just work in the community—we’re proud to be a part of it, providing the kind of service we’d expect for our own homes.

Testimonials

On 2/13/2026 Ned Venter had this to say:
Keith and his assistant removed a large Maple Tree that was 20' from my home. This tree had a broken limb and a squirrel hole, and I was worried it could fall onto my house. He dropped it quickly, removed all of the pieces, and cleaned up the yard. I will call him again when I need help.

On 8/30/2025 Mary Hubbard had this to say:
The crew at Steimel Tree Service are professional, fast & most of all willing to respectfully listen to the input by this 72 year old lady. Keith & his assistant have worked for me several times after being highly recommended by a friend. Prices are very reasonable and they do a great job of cleanup after removing branches. You will not be disappointed by the service they deliver.

On 7/30/2025 Kellie had this to say:
Steimel Tree Service has taken care of trees on my property for several years. Recently a very large branch (the size of a full-grown tree!) fell on my house. Keith and Ben had already spent an entire day working (in fact did a job removing a branch from a different tree for me earlier that day). It was around 4:30 in the afternoon when they started and after sundown when they got the entire tree/branch cleared off my roof. Holes were revealed as the branch was cut away and I was able to get roofers there to patch the holes only because Keith was willing to stay late to remove the branch. Note, it was probably 100 degrees with the humidity/heat index that day with NO breeze. Keith and Ben went above and beyond for me. They are very professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, reliable, dependable, thorough, and efficient. Without a doubt Steimel Tree Service is the BEST!!!

Absolute professionals. The Steimel team has been great to work with, fair price and excellent work. Everything they've taken care of at our house in the two times we've needed them (trimming, removal, stump grinding) has been outstanding.
